Holiday Lights in Largo Central Park
101 Central Park Drive, Largo, FL 33771
About this happenin
Largo Central Park's red torii gate gets outlined in pink and violet for the holidays, and the park's oaks are wrapped trunk to canopy, with more than 2.5 million LED lights on nightly from Thanksgiving into early January. A Ferris wheel turns at the far end of the lawn, beside a carousel and a spinning elephant ride. On weekends the Mistletoe Market sets up food and beverage vendors along the route. The lights are on 5 to 10 p.m., and all rides stop at 10 with no exceptions. The route is on foot only, with no golf carts, and costs nothing to walk; ride tickets are $6 each or ten for $50. Carousel riders must clear 36 inches, and anyone 36 to 42 inches needs a ticketed adult along; the Ferris wheel takes solo riders at 56 inches and up. Leashed dogs are welcome. Parking is free every night except the Holiday Tree Lighting and Stroll. The city counts more than a million visitors across a full run, which is worth knowing before you pick a Saturday.
